All three are designed for Communications Platforms Trade Association (CP-TA) compliance.
Together they reflect the evolutionary demand in the industry for 10Gbit/s Ethernet-based open modular systems that are appropriately scaleable and versatile to master the increasing traffic demands for IPTV-based media content and broadband media servers that deliver video on demand (VoD) over FFTx, DSL or cable-TV networks.
Particularly with all the promise behind IPTV subscriber services, and TEMs and their carrier and MSO (multiple service operators) clients need to overcome a number of network challenges to be able to deliver the range of exciting new services over IP, such as HD television, video on demand, screen-on-screen viewing, web surfing and voice mail.
